Council approves conveyance and CHDO agreement to build affordable homes in South Side
Summary
High Point City Council approved a resolution and CHDO agreement to convey five lots to Community Housing Solutions of Guilford and provide $230,737.70 in city gap financing for construction of three single-family affordable homes in the South Side community.
High Point City Council approved a conveyance resolution and Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) agreement that will transfer five parcels in the South Side neighborhood to Community Housing Solutions of Guilford and provide city gap financing for construction of three single-family affordable homes.
Community Development Director Nina Wilson presented the item as “consideration of an agreement and resolution regarding conveyance of property for affordable housing development,” saying the city seeks to continue infill housing development in the core city by conveying 801 Amos Street and 812 and 816 Triant Avenue to Community Housing Solutions. The CHDO agreement includes $230,737.70 from the city for construction of three units; staff said HOME funds in the current 2024–25 budget will cover the city’s portion.
Wilson also clarified that the CHDO agreement will include 801 Amos plus two lots previously conveyed to Community Housing Solutions at 610 and 700 Vale Avenue so the nonprofit will own all five lots after conveyance. Council members asked for clarification after a map in the packet showed a different parcel circled; Wilson acknowledged the packet map error and confirmed the five affected lots as 801 Amos, 812 Triant, 816 Triant, 610 Vale and 700 Vale.
A council member moved to approve the CHDO agreement and adopt the conveyance resolution; a second was recorded and the chair called for the vote. The meeting record shows the motion carried with no opposition voiced on the record. The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes or exact vote counts.
The action transfers public parcels to a nonprofit developer and commits city gap financing; council members did not request additional conditions on the conveyance during the discussion.
Looking ahead, staff will execute the necessary documents to complete the conveyance and proceed with the CHDO-funded construction, subject to project-level permits and construction approvals.
